TJC’s Core Curriculum provides students with a solid foundation of knowledge and academic skills, which will assist them throughout life. Students planning to continue their education toward a baccalaureate degree can complete Core Curriculum courses designed to provide a sound background in the liberal arts. Students who successfully complete the TJC Core Curriculum can transfer that block of courses to any Texas, public college or university. Articulation agreements with other Texas colleges and universities mean seamless transfer.
Most TJC Core Curriculum courses are three Semester Credit Hours (SCH). However, some courses offered, such as in the Mathematics and Life and Physical Sciences Cores, are four SCH. Any extra SCH taken above the 42 required in the Core Curriculum will apply to the degree requirements.
